"To be or not to be,—that is the question.
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the stings
and sorrow of outrageous fortune or to take arms
against a sea of troubles, and by opposing, end
them.''
The opening words of the above bear close
to the hearts of all Stetson students, and in reality
we recognize that "it's up to us."
This matter must be settled by individual tastes as it was by Hamlet, shortly after uttering those
memorable words. They do not
settle the question for any body
and do not exhaust it, but merely
bring it before our minds. And
in thinking of making the NewJYear,
let vis follow closely the thought of
Thomas Campbeil in Blockwood's
Magazine, when he thought of the
above and said: "We ask not for
a picture of the whole landscape
of the soul, nor for a guide who
shall point out all its wonders. But
we are glad to listen to every one
who has traveled through the rich
kengdoms of experience. Something
interesting there must be in the
humblest matter, and we turn with
equal pleasure from the converse of
those who have climbed over the
magnificence of the highest mountains there, to the livlier tales of
less ambitious pilgrims, who have
sat on the green and sunny knoll,
beneath the whispering tree, and
by the music of the gentle rivulets."
We should all enjoy 1913. As
students we should appreciate our
positions and tasks. At the same
time we should feel the pleasure
connected with it. We should realize that it is right living that
"counts" and not right dying. In
all of our efforts for the pursuit
of knowledge let us have for our
criterion Dr. Furness who said:
"I grieve not that ripe knowledge
takes away
The charm that to my boyhood bore,
For with the insight cometh day
by day.
A greater bliss than wonder was
before"
Now, let us bring the question down to a practical basis. Perhaps we did not boost Stetson
and its organizations as we should in 1912. Perhaps we "boosted a knocker," and "knocked a
booster," when we should have done otherwise.

COLD FACTS GIVEN KINDLY NEVER CUT
BUT THEY OFTEN CONVINCE.
The Thanksgiving game with Gordon Institute marked the conclusion of Stetson's
foot-ball schedule for 1912.
Another volume has been added to Stetson
history. Let us review it. In some respects
it has been pleasant. In others it has been
anything but pleasant. But, best of all, it
has been and yet is to be, beneficial to Stetson
University and to DeLand.
The pleasant features were numerous.

The appearance on Monday morning of "ye
sedate and reverent" Seniors in Chapel for the
first time of the year in their caps and gowns,
the outward symbol of the culmination of a four
year College course, created much excitement,
ami no less envy among all the undergraduate
es. To render the occasion nunc impressive
the Seniors in the dignified man-
ner befitting their station, inarched
ner befitting their station, inarched
single file with the class president,
Mr, Frank Smith, leading the
procession, to their alloted section
reserved for them and remained
standing until each one had reached
his seat.
Ai tin- completion of the
usual chapel services, Dr. Hulley
gave a brief address of welcome
to the Seniors and pointed >>ut.
to the student body the real value
of a "cap and gown." To pay
true reverence to the Sen
the other students remained seated
while the class made its dignified
(?) exit.
This class claims to be the
largest ever graduated from Stetson, surpasssing the class of 10OQ
by one member. The present i

eight years and as many as nine
